With Izzi’s new Remix lens iPhone case you always have lenses to enhance your iPhone pictures immediately available. The five-in-one lenses fit over the iPhone camera lens for wide angle, macro,

As a photographer, I’m a big fan of the quality of photos from the iPhone 6 camera. Still, I can never get a decent zoomed photo. Zooming-in typically results in a grainy photo. On the other end of
the spectrum, sometimes I can’t move back far enough to get everyone or everything in the shot. With the Izzi Remix, the camera lenses are
right there on the case so you always have access to a 2x telephoto, an 165-degree ultra-wide angle, a 170-degree fish-eye and polarizer, and a 13x Macro lens with a 13mm focus distance.

To some people, a keyboard is just a keyboard. But they may be the same type who can pick any random mechanical pencil off of retail peg-hooks and feel completely satisfied. I don’t know how to do
that, since even mechanical pencils are tools in my eyes. And any tools I use – knives for the kitchen, trimmers for the backyard, or keyboards for writing/gaming – are carefully chosen for the
long-term.

It all comes down to personal choice and what feels best. Since I spend much time typing every day, a keyboard is pretty important to me. So let me tell you what a huge deal it is to have a
new keyboard dethrone the long-standing champion.

Design & Durability

If you’re a current or previous owner of a keyboard folio for a tablet, the Logitech
Keys-to-Go keyboard will make you feel right at home. Though, arguably, one in a better, more upscale neighborhood. Despite how the Keys-to-Go is primarily described as being compatible with
iPads and iPhones, it works with any Bluetooth compatible device. So Windows and Android users can keep reading.

While not pocket-sized, this is certainly one of the easiest Bluetooth keyboards to pack and carry on a whim. The Keys-to-Go is only twice the thickness of your car/house key, and thinner than most
tablets. In fact, most 8-inch tablets make the best size-complement to the Keys-to-Go. Except for
about an inch of length in favor of the keyboard, both devices share similar silhouettes. But don’t worry. 10-inch tablets are just as great. We’re talking about fantastic size here, people!

It’s got a great hand size, like holding a book.

Unlike other brands/models of mobile keyboards, this latest from Logitech provides most all the keys you might expect from a full-sized or laptop keyboard. The scale is just slightly smaller, which
may require a bit of an adjustment period. I consider the spacing between keys to be cozy, not cramped. There’s sufficient room to allow for individual strokes, and I can still breeze through words
without fat-fingering typos. And that’s what counts.

Some keys may appear to be missing, at first. Where the escape key would be is a rounded square instead. Hold down the function button and it works as escape (for prompts, menus, etc). But if
you’ve been accustomed to having a second CTRL key on the right-hand side of the keyboard, or a key for taking screenshots, you’ll have to get an app to remap. Those things weren’t that big a deal
for me at first. I was still getting used to having the function key where my pinky would normally expect to hit CTRL. But you do get a function row as a well as a full number row.

The battery is still going strong, straight out of the box.

The bottom of the Logitech Keys-to-Go is completely smooth with no feet. The matte silicone does a great job at staying in…

You’ve owned a brand-new iPhone 6 and have survived #bendgate, #crescentgate, and what have you. Either your dextrous
hands and/or protective case have served you well. So now it’s time to get crazy and wild on some adventure outside of your stuffy home or boring cubicle.

But before you venture off and hazard all the smartphone-smashing perils of the world, you’ll want to make sure your precious iPhone 6 is appropriately decked out. What better accessory is there to
get other than a rugged, dust-proof, shock- and water-resistant battery case?…

Touch. For some background, if you haven’t seen my other stylus reviews, I love to draw on my iPad–
I draw disney characters and not much more, because I’m eternally nine years old.

Having spent a good couple months with the FiftyThree Pencil, paired with the Paper app, I was really excited to receive something a little more like what imagine a stylus should be.

Yawn. Today's was the highly anticipated iPad event, which shockingly announced the new thinnest iPad ever: the iPad Air 2. Along with that, it was announced that Apple Pay would begin on October 20, but of course the best part was Stephen Colbert's appearance. Oh, and of course Apple had to be all, "You think 4K is cool? PSHHH we've got 5K resolution." So yeah, that about sums it up. However, you know me - I much prefer catching up via Twitter.

Thus, I assembled the 10 best #AppleEvent tweets so you can laugh along with me! Enjoy!

I waxed UNpoetic about the trials and tribulations of Tinder “riff-raff” (STREET RAT!) and patted
myself on the back for being just attractive enough to slip on in through the “attractive female” door that doesn’t require a six figure salary. Then, I attempted to log into the magic land of
good-looking trust fund babies only to spend a half an hour sobbing over what almost was.

At nearly midnight last night (just call me Luxy Cinderella, mostly because it sounds like a Nicki Minaj song), the gold- and -diamond-encrusted gates swung open and the holy land
revealed itself to me. Here’s how day 1.5 went:

Supposedly, if you leave your new iPhone 6 in your back pocket and sit on it, you run the possibility that the iPhone 6 will bend. Naturally, I heard this story and rolled my eyes wondering who
could possibly sit on their iPhone and then I managed to do it in my meeting today. But I immediately confessed my faux-pas! Forgive me, Cult of Apple. However, can we really classify something as
a media frenzy if it doesn’t have its own Twitter hashtag? Naturally, the iPhone…
